Ow man…
The HR department didnt approve my vacation, and im about to yell with rage
Like, on what grounds did they deny it?
I can't recall a single time I've denied a vacation request. Even if it makes work inconvenient for a couple of days, the ill will it breeds is never worth it unless you literally do not care if your employees quit
There is some/many mistakes from my part and my boss when i scheduled it.
Its company rule to register the vacation at least 45 days before it starts. I did it 47 before.
But then it needs to be approved by my boss, what took him like two weeks to do it. But then, when he did, the system denied because the first day on vacation was two days before a holiday. Another rules says that you cant start vacation 2 days before holidays, either after holiday or 3 days before.
Then the registration went back to me to redo it, but it was already late december at that point. So, i registered to start 23 jan, but then it would be against the 45 days rule.
Day 6 jan my boss asked an exception to HR to approve the new interval. But then, the system demanded me to approve.
Then, it was my fault again because at first glance, i couldnt find any approval buttom, and text would say that request had “auto-approval” feature, so i just waited.
Yesterday i went to see wtf was happening, and the request was in a state “waiting my approval”. Once again i entered the system to see if i had missed something, and indeed, the accept button was camouflaged as a small yellow key near my name. No descriptive text, i had to hover my mouse there to see the info box.
Ok, then i accepted yesterday the exception request. But today, HR simply denied because the company couldnt process my vacation payment till monday, so, i would need to choose another vacation period. With the 45 days rule, or again, with the exception request
